Accuphase DP570 vs. Luxman D10X
I had accuphase 560, nothing special. Currently have accuphase dp-750 and luxman d-10x.  Both are great. But accuphase here in US way overpriced even if you find a dealer with a good discount it’s still will cost more than luxman. To my ears and ... 
Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner
snackeyp, what do you like better with Harbeth than SF? What SF do you have? And most important question: in moderately sized room (12’X25' with listening position 15’ from the front 12’ wall) what Harbeth model will be a best buy (price performan... 
Esoteric Grandioso K1 "Disc Error"
Sorry to hear that. I feel your frustration especially considering level of this player. How often you play cds on it?Get cleaning cd on amazon and play it for 30 min.if your esoteric lens became dirty, it should clean it and hopefully resolve thi... 
All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only
I totally agree with Riaa. A lot of people listen to this guy Jay (WC) who is quite entertaining, but he changes a gear more often that I change my sucks. He does not burn it long enough and always mix and match. I had all 3 integrated in my house... 
Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ?
+1 on triode wire labs obsession. My system powered by 4 of them. They bested (in my system) such cables as shunyata sigma HC,cardas clear beyond, zen wave audio, wireworld platinum and some others. Great power cables. You should try them with lux...

Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs
Majority of posters here are own Marantz and nobody talks about esoteric.I owned most previous top (reference) models from Marantz (7, 14 and 11) and auditioned sa-10. I tried to find alternative to esoteric cdp that cost less. I was not able to s... 
Speaker Cable Recommendations
+1 on triode wire labs. I had  their speakers cables and in my system there were better than Wireworld silver eclipse 8.Pete is very honest anD great to deal with. Eventually I changed to Audience front row that cost 5 times more but really elevat... 
Ultimate Integrated amps
Agree on a pass int-250 - great integrated, especially considering its price. The new Accuphase E-800 has been just released. I don't think anybody in US had a chance to hear it. But the specs are quite impressive for class A integrated. I am very... 
Amp / Pre-Amp for Sonus Faber Serafino
OP, I currently have SF Amati Tradition that replaced the SF Serafinos.For about 10 month I was driving Serafinos with latest Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated. Great integrated, dynamics, micro details, timber. But it requires careful cables match - ... 
Pass Labs int 250 and int 60
I compared both in my system and currently have int-250. Even so the sound signature is the same, the INT-250 is more extended at top and bottom and deliver more relaxed presentation with slightly bigger soundstage than INT-60. Read reputable and ... 
Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60
It would be great if Luxman could release a reference class A amplifier like Accuphase is about to do soon (E-800) . Unfortunately for many of us the Accuphase pricing in US is over the roof. So with Luxman pricing model something like Accuphase E... 
Pass Labs int 250
After many integrated ( plinius hiato, plinis 9200, mark levinson 508, Gryphon diablo 300, gamut 150LE, krell, marantz pm10, jeff rowland 500, luxman 509x, accuphase E-470) I'm now using pass int-250.Is that the best one?, I don't think so. There ... 
Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one
br3098,  yes speakers are very important component, but I disagree that its all about speakers. With a lot of trials and errors for the last 15 years, I now understand that before signal gets to the speakers it has to go thru the whole chain of co... 
Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one
Lak, yes, my personal opinion that cables should be considered as components. Cables synergy with gear is very important. I wish I would realized it much sooner in my journey. I sold/traded quite a few great amplifiers because of the poorly matche...
